But there's almost nothing else indicating a hatred for beastkin.

All we were going off of when we made that theory was that she assumed Valkenhayn knew where Kokonoe was.

It could be possible her one beastkin teammate really got around and generally had good senses, so maybe she drew conclusions from him alone.

So someone on Dustloop brought up the idea of a Blazblue JRPG given the history that apparently it was meant to be one. So if that was the case, how would a Blazblue JRPG party look like?

Maybe different stories that give you certain parties? Or various events happen that affect your party or who you play as?

It's simple. The main party initially is Ragna, Jubei, Taokaka and Torakaka.

Then something happens that makes Jubei and Torakaka leave the party.

After Nu-13 is defeated, Noel joins Ragna and Tao and, after some time, Makoto.

They end up fighting Hazama, that ends with Noel captured.

After fighting some more time, Tager would join.

They go rescue Noel but Tager is seriously wounded fighting Boss Hazama, and Jin joins the party in a elevent-hour plot twist.

They then defeat Mu-12 and is the end of Disc One, metaphorically speaking.

CP's story is so lacking in fights on Ragna's side that I can't think of a JRPG structure for that.

Tao leaves Ragna's party near the beginning of CP, soon he gets Celica and Noel to join and near the end of the game, its Ragna, Jin, and Noel.

Since they go out of their way to make people hostile and antagonistic towards each other because it's a fighting game, they could make some adjustments to the story so Ragna can get a more constant and reliable party lol.

From what I've heard of the live play, they tweaked the story so Jin saved Tsubaki preemptively, so I think the team was kinda like: Ragna, Jin, Rachel, Makoto, Tsubaki vs Hazama and Mu with Makoto and Tsubaki having a role in saving Noel. I always felt like those six would be a "team" in the actual game, but alas.

Wait, how can they have Jin save Tsubaki if her Face–Heel Turn around the same time...

It's just what I heard they did, hence "tweaking the story". I mean if you think about it, all that was needed to save her was the power of order(Izayoi's arcade just had him alone saving her without needing the others iirc). I'm assuming he saves her with his power literally minutes after she falls into the curse instead of waiting a month? Her turn was before Mu so it's possible.

I mean I guess they had to wrap everything up so it wouldn't leave on a cliffhanger.

Also why does Hibiki magically have yellow eyes now? Is there some story explanation I missed, or did they just want to make his design stand out?

Obviously Hibiki is actually Shiki, and those are his killing eyes.

I know it's a joke, but I feel compelled to point out that death perception eyes are bright blue.

So guys.

CP Extend came out today on the Vita.

Some of you might recall that my brother was nice enough to pre-order it for me.

He suggested it would be fun to take a walk to Gamestop to pick it up. I complied.

We walked in the 88-Degree summer weather for an hour, only to be told they hadn't received their shipment yet, and they would call my brother as soon as they got it.

Then we walked for another hour back home, empty-handed.

A game where Hakumen can do over 10k is never disappointing.

It is if your way of playing Hakumen is ineffectual flailing.

Then again, I'm not very good at fighting games.
